Beans and peas

Most of the plants are currently sitting at home in cold frames waiting to be planted. Although this weekend we were preparing the beds for where the broad beans and peas were going to go.

Luckily a fellow plotholder was on hand with his Mantis tiller rotovator and offered to let Sparkly have a go...


What a timesaver, easily done in 20 minutes, here you can see the broad beans and peas, we have planted some peas as well along the whole line, so hopefully they will grow at staggered intervals so we don't get a glut.

Here you can see the fine tilth produced by the rotovator, our compost dalek, a gooseberry bush and just where the spade is will be where we set up a bean wigwam.
